West Coast SwingPush BreakOk, so what's a Push Break? It is similar to the Sugar Push. The difference is that the Sugar Push uses a Delayed Single Rhythm Unit [touch step] on counts [3 4] where the Push Break uses a Triple Rhythm Unit [step three times] on counts [3 & 4]. HELPE X E R C I S E - 1

Verbal:
Leader: [bk bk] [step together fwd] [step three times]
Follower: [fwd fwd] [step together back] [step three times]
Verbal: [1 2] [3 & 4] [5 & 6]
Counts "1 thru 4": Active Connection
Count "3": Compression Connection - CPB's moving toward each other.
Count "&": Reaction to compression getting ready to push the CPB's away into count "4"
Count "4": The CBP's will have move away from each other and the connection should reduce to a Passive Connection.
This exercise will teach the Leader how to exit the Push Break and get ready for another pattern.
Same as previous exercises but dropping Leader's :Rh after count "4" - leaving dancers in Open Position with a One Hand Lead.
Anchor: If the Leader changes from a 2 hand lead to a 1 hand (Lh) lead, then the foot positions for the Anchor shall become 3rd instead of 1st.
